«Ouch, ouch, ouch! I told you already that I'm sorry!» said Quacker Jack, while getting his back kicked by the hoofs of the friends, who he thought of robbing of such a title.

«Oh,ExUsE MeEEeeEeeeE that we are not ready to forgive you for potentially SENDING US TO ANOTHER WORLD,» sassily answered Mega Volt, while kicking his flank again.

«Hey,but at least we could've gotten a cutie mark for World Jumping!» tried defending himself unfortunate Quacker Jack. One unfortunately following the other - Banana Brains kicked him as well.

«Yea,and we would've gotten back home HOW exactly?!I have Mom and Dad,and I can't go away more then for a week on our journey» — said little filly, while eating a banana. After kicking him she got back to relaxing by leaning against the tree.

«Yea,and I still have to work.Dad promised to give me a shot at making my own light bulbs next!Do you expect me to skip that?!» asked angry Mega Volt, while eating a tuna sandwich he got from the Banana Brain's bag.

«Okay,okay,I get it...but hey - at least we are almost there! If our calculations are correct - then we should be right about at the place of the legendary lost city! And only in 4 days, even quicker then expected!» said the overly exited Quacker Jack, while eating peanut butter and jelly sandwich and gulping it down with some milk, «plus you kicked me, like, a bazillion times already. I got it, I should've said earlier - but kicking me for four days straight is a bit much, ain't it?»

«Oh, shus! My parents hate your pegasai kind with deep passion, and I am still in this club with you. Compared to them I am basically the Fluttershy the Kind.» said the unicorn, while waving his hoof at his friends.
«Same here.» said Banana Brains,lifting her hoof while eating.

«You all are no fun...» said the Quacker Jack. His parents were the only non-racist ones. Mostly because they didn't care for the other races of ponies...maybe that was the reason he was the founder of this club.

«Okay, I'm done, lets go. We do not have too much time...» Said Banana brains, while standing up. She throws away the banana peel and goes further to get to this lost city she wanted to find for so long. «We deffinetly won't find out destination quickly if you will just si-» tried saying little filly in the green sweater, until she remembered about her banan…

...because she felt it with her hoof.

«IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!» started screaming poor filly, while sliding on the banana peel. She was fallingDiscord knows we're, while her friends, not surprised, groaned, thrown the last of their dinner into their mouth and started going after her. Quacker Jack took Mega Volt's hoofs, because he was much stronger and quicker, helped him to jump on his back - and they started flying after the unfortunate, screaming, crying filly.

Maneuvering around the trees was very hard for a young pegasus. Especially with an added weight. Which made it all the more surprising how the little screaming filly managed to skit past all the sources of danger and trees unscathed... Or so the two colts thought. Up until the point where the ground under her fell and she started sliding down into some unknown place, presumably underground cave. While thinking about it - two colts bumped into the tree. Because you need to pay attention when you are going at high speed. A couple of moments later - they were here, down the sliding ground, looking at their friend, planted face-first into the dirt. Quacker Jack came to help, releasing her form the hugs of the mother nature and helping her dust off.

«Okay gang,the food supplier is back on track,we can get back to work,» said Qucker Jack, while dusting off his hoofs and looking at his friends. What he found notable was the flabbergasted look on the Mega Volt's face.

«W-we might've alr-r-ready....ddddone it,» he said, while pointing hishoof behind his back.

Turning around with a confused face - Quacker Jack noticed a giant ruins of the castle that he didn't notice while going down because...well - he landed face-first into a tree. Can he have a break for not noticing stuff?

«Holy Celestia...Is that?...» Banana Brains was searching through her stuff, until she found a history book. Flipping to a certain page she seemd to know by heart - she lined up some structures with the ruins in front of her. Her friends got besides here and were comparing as well.

The destroyed towers, the remnants of the main building with the broken glass painting, a garden besides it, that through the years have grown around the entire city. There was no denying it. They found it. The Legendary...

«LOST CITY OF CANTERLOT! LET'S GO, CUTIEMARK CRUSADERS!!!!» said exited fillies, while starting to dance aroundб because of their success. Banana Brains doing a worm dance, Mega Volt doing some techno, Quacker Jack doing...
Whatever the hell Quacker Jack was doing. Wasn't important! They've done it! But most importantly - they looked down expectantly at their flanks...unfortunate. Still blank...seems like they might as well try searching the castle for "uncovering the truth of the past" and "archeology" cutiemarks…
